Searching for the Oldest Seismogram
Session: Back to the Future: Innovative New Research with Legacy Seismic Data
Type: Oral
Date: 4/19/2021
Presentation Time: 06:00 PM Pacific
Description:
Several of the earliest seismograms still in existence - either in their original, as a copy or as a facsimile reproduced in a publication – from the last two decades of the 19th century will be shown. I present what I found to be the oldest existing records from North America, Europe and Asia. The oldest record currently known is a recording of a strong local earthquake in the Tokyo region on 8 March 1881. I ask all members of the seismological community to prove me wrong and point to seismograms recorded at an even earlier date.
